At Goldman Ismail Tomaselli Brennan & Baum LLP, Shayna Cook regularly leads on complex product liability cases, with focus in the pharma space and work on nationwide MDLs. Her practice includes the representation of GSK against a consolidated product liability suit in Cook County, defending them against allegations that their heartburn drug Zantac exposed plaintiffs to a probable carcinogen. She secured a complete defense verdict in August 2024 for GSK in one of the first Zantac trials nationwide, and a global settlement was reached later that year.
